In an unexpected turn of events, Vince McMahon, Janel Grant,
and WWE filed a joint motion to continue their litigation in
private arbitration, something which McMahon and WWE have
been fighting for for a long time while Grant and her legal
team objected to.
The motion still needs the approval of Judge Sarah F.
Russell.
“The parties are in active discussions regarding a potential
agreement to arbitrate the dispute in confidential
arbitration that would moot those motions. They seek this
relief in good faith, to avoid unnecessarily consuming the
Court’s and the parties’ resources—and so they can focus on
progressing the potential arbitration agreement,” the motion
read. “The Parties respectfully propose that the Court
temporarily adjourn the hearing and allow them to file a
Joint Status Report within 21 days.”
All parties involved were scheduled to appear in court on
June 16 to argue in McMahon’s case, and against, in Grant’s
case, for the case to be moved to private arbitration.
If the judge approves, the case will move behind closed
doors.
